Mashable: The project aims to understand what happened on the fateful night of April 15, 1912.

Technological advancements reveal the haunting, never seen details of the world’s most known shipwreck in the world.

According to BBC, a deep-sea mapping has unveiled the first-ever 3D view of the entire ship, which still lies 3,800m (12,500ft) below the ocean in the Atlantic. The view shows how the ship would appear if the water had been drained away. The goal of this experiment is to reveal what exactly happened in 1912 when the ship sank.

Reportedly, more than 1,500 people passed away, after Titanic collided with an iceberg during its voyage from Southampton to New York.

Parks Stephenson, a Titanic analyst, told BBC News, "There are still questions, basic questions, that need to be answered about the ship.” He believes this model was "one of the first major steps to driving the Titanic story towards evidence-based research - and not speculation."

Since 1985, when the ship’s wreck was discovered, the cameras could only share snapshots of the decay instead of the whole image.

As a result, this 3D scan captures the whole wreck, giving viewers a complete look at Titanic. The ship fell in two parts, with its bow and the stern separated by about 800m (2,600ft).

In 2022, the scan was organised between Magellan Ltd, a company that maps the deep sea, and Atlantic Productions, which is creating a documentary on this endeavour.

The world's most famous shipwreck has been revealed as never seen before.

The team used submersibles, controlled by a team on another specialist ship, which spent over 200 hours examining the wreck. To create the 3D reconstruction, the team took over 700,000 images, covering the ship’s length and breadth.

According to Magellan's Gerhard Seiffert, the person responsible for planning the execution revealed it is the ‘largest underwater scanning project’ he has ever done. Explaining the challenges, he said, "The depth of it, almost 4,000m, represents a challenge, and you have currents at the site, too - and we're not allowed to touch anything so as not to damage the wreck.

"And the other challenge is that you have to map every square centimetre - even uninteresting parts, like on the debris field you have to map mud, but you need this to fill in between all these interesting objects."

The 3D scan highlights every detail, including the serial number on one of the propellers.

Even 100 years later, one can recognise the bow and a gaping hole where the grand staircase once stood. The debris also reveals other items such as ornate metalwork from the ship, statues and unopened champagne bottles. Personal items of the passengers include dozens of shoes resting on the sediment.

Parks Stephenson, who has studied the Titanic for many years, said, "It allows you to see the wreck as you can never see it from a submersible, and you can see the wreck in its entirety, you can see it in context and perspective. And what it's showing you now is the true state of the wreck."

He also believes that one can finally understand what happened on that fateful night in 1912. "We don't understand the character of the collision with the iceberg. We don't even know if she hit it along the starboard side, as is shown in all the movies - she might have grounded on the iceberg," he revealed.

Now with these details, people hope to learn the secrets of Titanic.
